Posted Apr 17, 2010, 12:53:49 pm

It has been 1 year and 1 day since I found the  5 and 3/4 pound silver cache buried in a clay flower pot last year !    After finding and posting the cache I found last year, quite a few of you made comments to the effect that there were likely more caches to be found nearby, Contending that,  A person who uses the ground as a bank  rarely puts all his eggs in 1 basket just in case someone finds 1 they will not go bust !   I Thought the same way ! In the past year I had returned looking for more buried caches  at least 15 times. Most of those hunts at least 4 hours ! I would usually  find a few small keepers so the hunt was never really boring ! There is nary a signal left in a 100 yard circle of the old cache !  The last theory I had left to other possible hiding places was that my first cache was a fence post cache and that perhaps there was at one time a fence bordering the field I had been hunting even though there was no evidence of a fence left ! I had pursued this theory on the last 4 hunts and had found no sign of a ground bank or a fence ! I had covered nearly all the field line and still only the occasional keeper ! I had started at the top of the field and worked my way down the line for two days ,nothing ! When I returned I Parked and started at the bottom of the field and worked up  the line 2 more trips and nothing ! In the back of my mind I noted that my up and down hunts on the line I predicated was there  had never overlapped . These Past hunts I am commenting on took place over  the course of last year on  random dates ! Today I decided to cover the small middle piece of the line I had not been over ! It tuned out to be about a 10  yard strip which I had not been over yet ! The rest of the line I had put a coil over  twice! Well It paid me off to finish the theory  search work I had laid out for myself l I found cache # 2 today ! 1 year and 1 day after the first !  It is a lot smaller !  $ 14.00 face value in silver !  20 walking Liberties , 10 washington Quarters , 14 Mercs and 1 1946 Rosie !    The first find I made Today was what I believe is the front piece of a Ladies fashion buckle or perhaps the front of a broach ! With a good sized ruby looking stone ! This nice looking Relic piece  really sharpened my senses and I was lost in the zone ! Next I picked up a wheatie ! Good sign I thought to my self maybe I will pick up a silver ! 2 feet from the penny  a big overload signal ! Well it doesn't discrim out so I dig !  Not very deep 2 inches from the top pieces of a small clear glass bottle come up out of the ground ! I rescaned the hole figuring the bottle top must be the overload ! I reach in with my hand to feel around for the cover and came out with a small handful of silver !! I had found Cache # 2 .  HORRAY !   I Knewr  better than to leave the glass bottle in the ground this time !  MaineRelic

Well, I guess you have to go on the theory if there's one, then there's two, and if there's 2 then there's 4.  I think you'll have to go a little farther down that line in all metal mode and sensitivity to the max, and dig all those bank deposits.

Congrats...it's a banner.

Please continue the fenceline theory ,  but also  consider the possibility of a geometric pattern ( a triangle of 3 caches,  a square 4  of caches , etc etc .)  You have a distance to work with  now that you  have found 2 caches. Try plotting various geometric patterns and search  those  areas equidistant from the first 2 caches . Your persistance and subsequent results  are  impressive  and  i  would  think  there  would  be  more  caches  in the  area. Awesome job!! and  congrats  on the  banner ...Again!!

As most any Mainer would say that's "wicked awesome"!  If I was you I'd pitch a tent and cover every square inch within 200 yards of the spot. Seems to me that not many people around here had that much extra money, but since whoever lived on that place buried what you have found so far, it's likely there's more hidden. I hope you find more, it must feel almost like you won the lottery. You've got about 6 months before the ground freezes up again so hit it hard.

Wow! I wish I had the persistence that you have. I think that looking for a second cache I would have talked myself out of it, saying to myself its crazy to think there are two. I think I have just learned a great deal from you and I thank you much! I saw one of the fellows mentioned about triangulating it or going for a square. Do you think there could be more? I guess maybe I think that two would be the limit for folks with real limited resources.
I live along the Hudson river in New York State and there should be an  unlimited amount of goodies to find there given the history. I have been MD'ing for a few years now but lack the ability to choose a god spot to hunt. They are here all over but I cannot seem to find them. Oh well I guess I will just presss on. Thanks much for the valuable knowledge.

Excellant find to say the least. I have been a reader of this magazine for many yrs and finally decided to join the forums.  thumbsup I never really thought about sharing my finds until I started to read the online forums. I always just kept it to myself, until recently I submitted my large finds to the editor in November and from what they told me It could possibly be on the front cover of the next issue. Just wanted to say congrads on being persistant and finding your cache.
